Tania Iakovidou : The cruel attack on Manolidou and Christidou

Extremely sharp comments were made byTania Iakovidou on the camera of "Morning Study" for her Eugenia Manolidou, but also for herSissy Christidou.
"Why should Mrs. Manolidou be on television depriving someone else of the possibility through a process that could earn his living; For me, let Mrs. Manolidou sit at home and offer a charity action! Why should it be on TV all the time?; I don't understand it. I have nothing personal with her. I think he is also a talented person, in the end. But "Mrs. Manolidou and then the chaos" is a mistake," said the well-known journalist.
However, not even Sissy Christidou escaped from her "fires".: “Sissy is nowhere to be seen. She has one of the most beautiful faces on Greek television, although it is sophisticated. I like the freshest, the youngest. I like Eleonora and I cannot be objective. I love that she makes her changes, which are fresh, news and expresses the progressive. This static (of Sissy) I don't like "doing my hair so that not a single hair sticks out from my head".. I think she is very overrated. You know what she misses; He hasn't, possibly, those elements of culture and personality that could make her stand on a morning show, which should have a combination of many things in parallel. also, she is very self-centered and herself as a person".

Being in a relationship gives you balance;
Not always, it depends. Sometimes it gives you balance and other times you think you are balancing. However, I don't need a relationship to balance myself, I don't see relationships as "crutches". In each case, in any case, being in a relationship makes me feel good.
You share easily;
Look, I am quite sociable, when I get into this process though I don't share easily. Actually, I would tell you that I am quite a closed person and hardly open up. I need a lot of time.

Your character causes you problems in your relationships with people;
But relationships are earned. Even with your best friend at the beginning of your acquaintance, you were not the same as you are today. That doesn't mean, Well, that anyone who is a closed character dooms a relationship.

Are you currently in a relationship?;
I've never talked about my personal life and I don't want to now, because then I'll have to talk all the time.
You have constants in your life;
I have my routines, but as a person I am open to changing things and habits. I'm not afraid of changes, while as constants I have my family and friends.
You have found it with yourself;
Yes. When I'm alone I enjoy it, i don't cry. I live it. Personally, I'm not afraid of loneliness at all, it's a part of me, while I like to have my time and unleash my creativity.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCT is available in Greece

Immediately available in Greece is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with the double clutch and dry-type automatic transmission "Alfa TCT".
This box will be applied to the Giulietta with their 1.4TB MultiAir 170 horsepower and with the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 of 170 horses. With the gasoline engine, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which is combined with the TCT gearbox, is available in Progression and Distinctive versions for a price 24.250 and 25.550 euros respectively (23.290 and 24.590 euro with withdrawal). With the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 170 The Giulietta is available in the Distinctive version with 30.200 euro (from 27.730 with withdrawal).
 The TCT automatic transmission (Twin Clutch Technology) it ensures greater comfort and an increased sporty feeling compared to a conventional automatic transmission combined with improved performance and lower consumption. Thanks to 1.4 TB MultiAir 170HP, the Giulietta with the Alfa TCT transmission has top speed 218 km/h and acceleration 0-100 km/h in just 7,7 δλ. But even with these performances, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are particularly low: 5,2 lt./100 km. is the average price of consumption, at a time when CO2 emissions are 121 gr / km.
The same applies to the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 of 170 horses. Even compared to the manual version of the same engine, the version with the Alfa TCT gearbox accelerates from 0 στα 100 km/h in 7,9 instead of 8,0 δλ. and average consumption falls from 4,7 στα 4,5 lt./100 km. Accordingly, CO2 emissions from 124 are reduced to 119 gr / km.

 Depending on the driver's wishes, the Alfa TCT cooperates with the Alfa D.N.A. system, the brakes, the engine and dynamic control system. So the transmission can vary the speed of the gear change, to control torque delivery on roads with low traction, to operate completely automatically, or to be used as a serial with the selection of ratios from the selector or the special paddles behind the steering wheel. The "Alfa TCT" transmission essentially consists of two parallel transmissions, each of which has its own clutch. Thus it is possible to select the next relationship when the previous one is already in use. The change is made by a simple and smooth exchange of the relevant discs, which ensures a continuous supply of torque and traction.

In relation to "wet" dual clutch transmission systems, the Alfa TCT has limited operating costs and, compared to classic automatic transmissions, lower consumption up to 10% (thanks also to the use of the Start system&Stop). One of the advantages of the "dry" technology used by Alfa TCT is its compact dimensions, the minimization of friction losses and no need for oil cooling, therefore the absence of the need for an oil pump. As a result of the above, the reduced 6% consumption in relation to boxes "baptized" in oil.

THEATER : A letter to a child

With Zeta Doukas at the Avlaia theater in Thessaloniki

For the first time on stage a book that moved the world from Europe to the United States, from the Middle East to Latin America, from China to Japan, from India to Iran and Bangladesh, wherever it traveled this novel shocked and was recognized as a masterpiece.
An explosive document that shocks the consciences of men and women around the world with its raw realism.
A woman's voice is heard – a single woman with a child in her womb. This woman has no name, nor does it reveal her social status. Besides, it doesn't make sense. This woman could be any woman. How is she treated by those around her?. From the child's father, her parents, her employer. How can a woman feel when she wants to give birth to a child and no one else wants it. Even the child himself.
If the baby that is still in the womb and understood all that is happening, could speak, what would he say;
He would choose this to be born;
However what remains is not a position, positive or negative towards abortion but a renewed self-awareness, through which the search for the true meaning of life and existence is diffused.
The monologue becomes almost a confession. The child's father, the girlfriend, the doctor, the modern doctor, the work boss and the parents. All witness a symbolic trial in which the sentence is decided, which confirms that the woman is always guilty. Is;
